We are installing an RO to let down the pressure downstream of a control valve. Since we are only taking a pressure drop and not taking flow measurements, is it necessary to have straight run requirements?

skuntz,
No, if you are not measuring then you do not need any straight run.

Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results
